Abstract
A face detection apparatus of the present invention includes a face detection apparatus for detecting a face contained in an input image, including: a face detection section for detecting a face contained in the input image, based on a predetermined frame rate and face detection throughput per frame; and an accuracy changing section for changing, when no face is detected by the face detection section, the accuracy in detecting a face by the face detection section by reducing the frame rate.
